August Insights Series: How Data and Tech Are Driving a Better Customer Experience

August 25, 2022 8:00 AM - 10:30 AM (MDT)

Description

Customer experience means everything in today’s marketplace - with so many companies competing for our time and money, sometimes the only differentiating factor is how they make us feel. And everyone has an example of a company that went above and beyond to give them the best experience possible, but what’s behind that? How do companies create meaningful experiences that drive brand loyalty? And how has tech influenced the customer experience strategy and driven customer satisfaction?  

Join this month’s Insights Series to find out how the customer experience has evolved over the years through technology and data that help companies better understand their customers.
